Sitting at the base of the waterfall into the roaring Brook, this home was built to nestle comfortably with nature. Every year, with the melting of the snow, water rushes from the top of Mount Southington where it starts at an upper fall draw from the New Britain water company reservoir. The cascading water is visible from the back deck and walls of windows in the house. Trails on the property lead to the mountaintop where the views of Hartford are spectacular. The 12-acre property is bordered on two sides by New Britain Water Company property and the Roaring Brook is part of the protected conservation easement. Designed by Elm City Architects of New Haven Connecticut to blend in with its location in the heart of the Woods, the cedar shingle house features a screened-in porch and a back deck facing the waterfall. Adorned by Dogwood, Chinese tree peonies, hosta and copious perennials including thousands of daffodils painstakingly planted on the rocky slope, the property alights with color in the spring. As empty-nesters the sellers desired a commodious home with a first floor bedroom and ample accommodations for the children and grandchildren to regularly visit while maintaining a sense of privacy for everyone. The spacious kitchen features high end appliances, a mahogany floor, green speckled granite countertops and opens to the screened porch and deck.The sunken great room features a vaulted ceiling and radiant heated floors. Plus so much more act quickly.
